Review of Hooper

Hooper (1978)
3/10
"Smokey & The Bandit" looks like "Citizen Cane" in Comparison
4 August 2022
Never seen this and was looking for an 1 1/2 flick before going to bed last night. Wasn't expecting much, didn't get surprised, but even by Burt Reynolds drive in movies of the 70's this is weak. Burt again teams up with his "Bandit" director Hal Needham to show us the life of supposedly the world's greatest stuntman. Sally Field is along for the ride again as Burt's GF, naturally worried about him getting crippled. Virtually no plot, just a series of stunts or "gags" as they are evidently referred to in the industry. The only worthwhile part is, it is interesting watching and going behind the scenes as Needham shows the audience how the stunts are planned and then executed.
